Mission Statement of St. Agnes: St. Agnes Parish, established in

West Mifflin, PA in 1867, is a viable Catholic community that

witnesses the message of Jesus through the talents of its members

who are nurtured by the Holy Spirit. Our mission is to invite people

to know and become one with Jesus Christ reaching out in service to

all.

Mission Statement of St. Maximilian Kolbe: St. Maximilian Kolbe

Parish has a proud ethnic and faith-filled history. Our goal is to

live the Gospel each day, to welcome everyone, to reach out to the

churched and unchurched, and to be a living presence of Christ to

the community through prayer and activities. All that we do is

centered around the Eucharistic table of the Lord.

Parish Appreciation Dinner - As is customary in January,

Father Dan likes to schedule a parish appreciation dinner for all

parishioners who have helped to support the parish this past year

and plan on continuing their support through ministry in the

Church through fish fry, festival, bake shop, flea market, just to

name a few, and those who contribute through their weekly offer-

ing. The Church is always asking and I believe the Church also

needs to give back. And, since Father Dan and the staff take care

of St. Agnes and St. Max, there will be a joint dinner held on

Saturday, January 21st in Max Hall. H’orderves will be served

from 5:00-6:15 p.m. and buffet style dinner served from 6:30-7:30

p.m. The Mansfield 5 will play from 7:30-10:30 p.m. And, since

January 21st is also the Feast of St. Agnes, Mass will be celebrated

at St. Max by either Father Mark or Father Martin, and will also be

celebrated at St. Agnes by Father Dan. Both Masses will take

place at 4:00 p.m. so that everyone can arrive at the party at the

same time. All you need to do is RSVP by Monday, January

16th by noon, by calling 412-461-1054 with the number attending

in your family.
